Discipleship Driven Church
Have you been thinking about how to take Discipleship to the next level at your church? Or how to curate a culture of discipleship that extends beyond a program or strategy? In the Discipleship Driven Church stream we will seek answers to these questions together as we explore the tools, courses and concepts that have been helping us build discipleship culture in the churches of our movement since we last met.
In this stream you will:
-
Learn refreshed concepts to help equip yourself and your leaders to be and make disciples.
-
Discover new tools with which to measure and teach discipleship at your church.

Know where/who to go to for more learning and resources to build discipleship culture in and through your people.
We’ll also unveil the new Discipleship Menu and have a gift for each church represented. Hope to see you there!

This isn’t just an individual tool though - its biggest impact is in the improvement of team dynamics by rapidly accelerating individual self-awareness, and drawing out the genius each person has to contribute.
Working Genius will have immediate tangible application for you and your team, as we interactively demonstrate working with Frustrations and Geniuses through typical church and community applications.To get even more from this stream, bring along some (or all) of your team members so you can see how your geniuses and frustrations are already having an impact in your church.
Executive Leadership...
How to lead from the middle
If you are in middle leadership you are not alone, so many church leaders are leading from the middle! The middle is a wide space somewhere between vision & real-life, strategic thought and building a team to implement it; that gap between idea and action. As a leader, the middle is more than just something you pass through on your way to somewhere else, it is a God ordained space of purpose where He wants you to succeed now…rather than waiting for ‘some day’ when you are out of the middle.
Join Josh Hammann and Mel Hagenaar in this interactive stream as they speak not only from their own experience in executive leadership but interview Mark Zschech on what makes a great middle leader and how to move a vision forward from this space.
Gifting not Gender… a theological and practical look at women in leadership
